GOGGLES.

Application filed July 5' To all whom it may concern:

Be itl known that I, EMIL B. ltiini'nowirz, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at the city, of New York, in the county of New York andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inGoggles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to goggles or protecting glasses for the use ot'motorists and other persons, for preventing dust and par. ticles fromentering the eyes.

The principal object of the invention is to improve and simplify theconstruction of goggles, and particularly to render them more easilyapplied and removed in use.

W'ith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in theconstruction, cornbination, in the location and in the arrangement otparts, as hereinafter set l'orth and shown, and nally particularlypointed vout in the appended claims.

In the drawing: l*1 igurc 1 isa perspective view showing a pair otgoggles embodying the principlos'ot my invention; Fig. 2 is a front viewol the saine showing the goggles uni'astcned or unclasped.

The. ordinary forni of goggles includes a pair ol large, speciallyconstructed glasses having rims adapted to closely engage the face olthe wearer, and having strings, or an elastic band passed around thehead of the wearer, by which they are held in place.

' This arrangement only partially satisfactory, particularly Yfor use byladies, since the usual hat and veil prevent the goggles from beingeither slipped over the head, or fastened behind the hair. In order toovercome this defect, it is necessary to avoid any fastening at the backof the head, and yet to allow the gogrles to he positioned withoutstretching an elastic baud over the hat and head of the wearer. Invcarrying out my invention I secure this result by having fasten ingmeans on the individual members of the goggles, which can thereby beattached in pl ace and by means within convenient reach of the wearer.

Referring now to thevdrawing in which like parts aredesignated by thesame retcn I ence sign, 1 and 2 indicate the individual eye ieees orelements of a air of goggles. hese are substantially similar 1n iorm,having glasses 3, and cushions 4, which are yield- Specification ofLetters .Patent.

ing so as to conform to the face of the wearer.

The details o'l construction of these eye pieces may be of anydescription, and form no part ol the present invention, exce t as' tothe fastening means hereinafter described.

Instead of having the twoeye pieces 01* elements permanently hinged orattached together as in the usual construction, I provide the goggleelement 1 with a hook 5 xed thcretorand the goggle element 2 with aney'e 6, which is adapted to receive the hook 5.

7 indicates a band preferably of elastic material, which is permanentlyattached to the eye pieces or goggle elements 1 and 2, at the points S.The length of this band is capable ot' being adjusted by a clasp ortakeup device 0, of any suitable forni.

'In use it is merelynecessary to disengage the hooks 5 and 6, so thatthe band 7 can be conveniently stretched in the head of the wearer, anthen the hooks 5 and 6 are rcclasped, bringinfr the two eyepieces orgoggle elements 1 and position iu front ol' the. eyes. In addition to"itsiunction in of the goggles, tie fastening 5, 6, also consti tutes apivotal or hinged connection between the two eye pieces in use, so thatthey conform more readily to the face of the wearer.
